A storage organizer comprising a planar base sheet whereupon compartments or containers for storing items or substances may be arranged as a plurality of rows and columns, and where said organizer may be incorporated into a loose-leaf ringed binder simultaneously used to store and organize relevant paper documents. Categorization of stored items occurs through labeling space above columns and beside rows, while a paper or pull-out component situated beneath stored items allows for a submatrix stratification and characterization of stored contents. A method for efficiently storing and familiarizing medicines is addressed, comprising organization by day and a specific time or frequency of administration on the base sheet, with further characterization on the paper or pull-out component according to medicine name, strength and prescription number by row, with columns according to date prescribed and initials of prescriber, appearance, indication, intended result, special considerations and/or monitoring parameters, and possible side effects.
